Abstract

A jacket for a load-bearing, lengthy body, wherein the jacket is comprised of a plurality of braid elements which, when braided, enclose at least a portion of the lengthy body, and wherein the braid element is comprised of a braided ribbon. A method of forming the jacket is also described.

Abstract

A node in a mooring system (1) for floating structures (8), wherein the mooring system (1) includes at least one anchor line (2) and at least two other lines (3, 4) extending in different directions relative to each other and in a different direction from that of the at least one anchor line (2), and wherein said lines (2, 3, 4) are attached to an annular connection element (6), and wherein the connection element (6) is constituted by an endless, flexible polymer material. A method of forming the mooring system (1) and the use of a round sling as a connection element (6) are described as well.
